Story Camp® 2026  |  Boulder, Colorado

Your team looks to you to set the standard for how your company tells its story. Story Camp is where you go to raise that standard.

Call it a microconference, a symposium, or just the best leadership development retreat ever — Story Camp is an intimate gathering of proven GTM professionals sharpening their team’s presentation and communication capability. Two days of hands-on sessions built around the three pillars of presenting: story, screen, and stage — frameworks and skills you'll put to work immediately.

You'll learn from icons like AI Creative Director Benjamin Benichou, Executive Speaker Coach Montana von Fliss, and the guy who literally wrote the book on the science of storytelling — award-winning journalist and author Will Storr. But the learning comes from everywhere at Story Camp. You'll be in elite company: with Campers joining you from companies like Adobe, ServiceNow, Databricks, DocuSign, Ticketmaster, RingCentral, Outreach, Peloton, and Cotopaxi, alongside fellow CMOs, heads of Corporate Communications, and VPs of Product Marketing and Sale, pushing into the upper echelons of modern business storytelling — together.

November 3–6 in Boulder, Colorado. Capped at 75 attendees, so Campers get direct access to the speakers and each other — in a safe, gorgeous setting.

Set at the base of the iconic Flatirons at the Chautauqua, Story Camp 2026 blends deep learning with fresh air, trail access, and the rare luxury of staying on-site in your own private cabin or lodge-style room. You’ll wake up steps from hiking trails, gather for sessions surrounded by mountain views, and end the day in conversations that stretch long after the slides are closed.

What you’ll experience:

Story Camp is built around the three pillars of presenting: story, screen, and stage. Through hands-on sessions, live practice, and generous feedback, you’ll learn how to:

• Craft stories that actually move people

• Design visuals that clarify instead of clutter

• Show up on stage (or Zoom) with confidence and presence

This isn’t passive learning. You’ll laugh. You’ll experiment. You’ll try things that feel a little uncomfortable (in the best possible way).

Not mandatory, but campers will have the opportunity to give a short presentation, in a supportive, encouraging environment designed to help you grow, not perform. 

Who you'll learn from:

Story Camp takes a holistic approach to programming and learning, revolving our content around the three pillars of Presentation Excellence:

• Story: What you say
• Screen: What you show
• Stage: How you show up

We couldn't be more excited to bring in Will Storr, Benjamin Benichou, and Montana von Fliss as our experts-in-residence this year. You'll also learn from industry leaders like Suchi Parikh-Crandal (Director of Storytelling at Paypal) on her lessons learned crafting story driven presentations, Chris Lynch (CMO at Sovos) on the art of the B2B Sales Deck, and more.

Why Boulder? Why Chautauqua?

Chautauqua isn’t just a venue, it’s part of the experience.

• Stay on-site in historic cabins or hotel-style rooms

• Walk straight from sessions onto world-class trails

• Learn in a setting designed for reflection, connection, and creativity

• Stones throw from all the fun and flair that downtown Boulder has to offer!

Story Camp 2026 is intentionally designed to give you space: space to think, to practice, to connect, and to come home with skills you can immediately apply.
